-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-Prepare each commit with its patch in
-one file per commit, formatted to resemble UNIX mailbox format.
-The output of this command is convenient for e-mail submission or
-for use with 'git am'.
-
-There are two ways to specify which commits to operate on.
-
-1. A single commit, <since>, specifies that the commits leading
-   to the tip of the current branch that are not in the history
-   that leads to the <since> to be output.
-
-2. Generic <revision range> expression (see "SPECIFYING
-   REVISIONS" section in linkgit:gitrevisions[7]) means the
-   commits in the specified range.
-
-The first rule takes precedence in the case of a single <commit>.  To
-apply the second rule, i.e., format everything since the beginning of
-history up until <commit>, use the `--root` option: `git format-patch
---root <commit>`.  If you want to format only <commit> itself, you
-can do this with `git format-patch -1 <commit>`.
-
-By default, each output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the
-first line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety) as
-the filename. With the `--numbered-files` option, the output file names
-will only be numbers, without the first line of the commit appended.
-The names of the output files are printed to standard
-output, unless the `--stdout` option is specified.
-
-If `-o` is specified, output files are created in <dir>.  Otherwise
-they are created in the current working directory. The default path
-can be set with the `format.outputDirectory` configuration option.
-The `-o` option takes precedence over `format.outputDirectory`.
-To store patches in the current working directory even when
-`format.outputDirectory` points elsewhere, use `-o .`. All directory
-components will be created.
-
-By default, the subject of a single patch is "[PATCH] " followed by
-the concatenation of lines from the commit message up to the first blank
-line (see the DISCUSSION section of linkgit:git-commit[1]).
-
-When multiple patches are output, the subject prefix will instead be
-"[PATCH n/m] ".  To force 1/1 to be added for a single patch, use `-n`.
-To omit patch numbers from the subject, use `-N`.
-
-If given `--thread`, `git-format-patch` will generate `In-Reply-To` and
-`References` headers to make the second and subsequent patch mails appear
-as replies to the first mail; this also generates a `Message-Id` header to
-reference.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-:git-format-patch: 1
-include::diff-options.txt[]
-
--<n>::
-	Prepare patches from the topmost <n> commits.
-
--o <dir>::
---output-directory <dir>::
-	Use <dir> to store the resulting files, instead of the
-	current working directory.
-
--n::
---numbered::
-	Name output in '[PATCH n/m]' format, even with a single patch.
-
--N::
---no-numbered::
-	Name output in '[PATCH]' format.
-
---start-number <n>::
-	Start numbering the patches at <n> instead of 1.
-
---numbered-files::
-	Output file names will be a simple number sequence
-	without the default first line of the commit appended.
-
--k::
---keep-subject::
-	Do not strip/add '[PATCH]' from the first line of the
-	commit log message.
-
--s::
---signoff::
-	Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using
-	the committer identity of yourself.
-	See the signoff option in linkgit:git-commit[1] for more information.
-
---stdout::
-	Print all commits to the standard output in mbox format,
-	instead of creating a file for each one.
-
---attach[=<boundary>]::
-	Create multipart/mixed attachment, the first part of
-	which is the commit message and the patch itself in the
-	second part, with `Content-Disposition: attachment`.
-
---no-attach::
-	Disable the creation of an attachment, overriding the
-	configuration setting.
-
---inline[=<boundary>]::
-	Create multipart/mixed attachment, the first part of
-	which is the commit message and the patch itself in the
-	second part, with `Content-Disposition: inline`.
-
---thread[=<style>]::
---no-thread::
-	Controls addition of `In-Reply-To` and `References` headers to
-	make the second and subsequent mails appear as replies to the
-	first.  Also controls generation of the `Message-Id` header to
-	reference.
-+
-The optional <style> argument can be either `shallow` or `deep`.
-'shallow' threading makes every mail a reply to the head of the
-series, where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
-`--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.  'deep'
-threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
-+
-The default is `--no-thread`, unless the `format.thread` configuration
-is set.  If `--thread` is specified without a style, it defaults to the
-style specified by `format.thread` if any, or else `shallow`.
-+
-Beware that the default for 'git send-email' is to thread emails
-itself.  If you want `git format-patch` to take care of threading, you
-will want to ensure that threading is disabled for `git send-email`.
-
---in-reply-to=<message id>::
-	Make the first mail (or all the mails with `--no-thread`) appear as a
-	reply to the given <message id>, which avoids breaking threads to
-	provide a new patch series.
-
---ignore-if-in-upstream::
-	Do not include a patch that matches a commit in
-	<until>..<since>.  This will examine all patches reachable
-	from <since> but not from <until> and compare them with the
-	patches being generated, and any patch that matches is
-	ignored.
-
---cover-from-description=<mode>::
-	Controls which parts of the cover letter will be automatically
-	populated using the branch's description.
-+
-If `<mode>` is `message` or `default`, the cover letter subject will be
-populated with placeholder text. The body of the cover letter will be
-populated with the branch's description. This is the default mode when
-no configuration nor command line option is specified.
-+
-If `<mode>` is `subject`, the first paragraph of the branch description will
-populate the cover letter subject. The remainder of the description will
-populate the body of the cover letter.
-+
-If `<mode>` is `auto`, if the first paragraph of the branch description
-is greater than 100 bytes, then the mode will be `message`, otherwise
-`subject` will be used.
-+
-If `<mode>` is `none`, both the cover letter subject and body will be
-populated with placeholder text.
-
---subject-prefix=<subject prefix>::
-	Instead of the standard '[PATCH]' prefix in the subject
-	line, instead use '[<subject prefix>]'. This
-	allows for useful naming of a patch series, and can be
-	combined with the `--numbered` option.
-
---rfc::
-	Alias for `--subject-prefix="RFC PATCH"`. RFC means "Request For
-	Comments"; use this when sending an experimental patch for
-	discussion rather than application.
-
--v <n>::
---reroll-count=<n>::
-	Mark the series as the <n>-th iteration of the topic. The
-	output filenames have `v<n>` prepended to them, and the
-	subject prefix ("PATCH" by default, but configurable via the
-	`--subject-prefix` option) has ` v<n>` appended to it.  E.g.
-	`--reroll-count=4` may produce `v4-0001-add-makefile.patch`
-	file that has "Subject: [PATCH v4 1/20] Add makefile" in it.
-
---to=<email>::
-	Add a `To:` header to the email headers. This is in addition
-	to any configured headers, and may be used multiple times.
-	The negated form `--no-to` discards all `To:` headers added so
-	far (from config or command line).
-
---cc=<email>::
-	Add a `Cc:` header to the email headers. This is in addition
-	to any configured headers, and may be used multiple times.
-	The negated form `--no-cc` discards all `Cc:` headers added so
-	far (from config or command line).
-
---from::
---from=<ident>::
-	Use `ident` in the `From:` header of each commit email. If the
-	author ident of the commit is not textually identical to the
-	provided `ident`, place a `From:` header in the body of the
-	message with the original author. If no `ident` is given, use
-	the committer ident.
-+
-Note that this option is only useful if you are actually sending the
-emails and want to identify yourself as the sender, but retain the
-original author (and `git am` will correctly pick up the in-body
-header). Note also that `git send-email` already handles this
-transformation for you, and this option should not be used if you are
-feeding the result to `git send-email`.
-
---add-header=<header>::
-	Add an arbitrary header to the email headers.  This is in addition
-	to any configured headers, and may be used multiple times.
-	For example, `--add-header="Organization: git-foo"`.
-	The negated form `--no-add-header` discards *all* (`To:`,
-	`Cc:`, and custom) headers added so far from config or command
-	line.
-
---[no-]cover-letter::
-	In addition to the patches, generate a cover letter file
-	containing the branch description, shortlog and the overall diffstat.  You can
-	fill in a description in the file before sending it out.
-
---encode-email-headers::
---no-encode-email-headers::
-	Encode email headers that have non-ASCII characters with
-	"Q-encoding" (described in RFC 2047), instead of outputting the
-	headers verbatim. Defaults to the value of the
-	`format.encodeEmailHeaders` configuration variable.
-
---interdiff=<previous>::
-	As a reviewer aid, insert an interdiff into the cover letter,
-	or as commentary of the lone patch of a 1-patch series, showing
-	the differences between the previous version of the patch series and
-	the series currently being formatted. `previous` is a single revision
-	naming the tip of the previous series which shares a common base with
-	the series being formatted (for example `git format-patch
-	--cover-letter --interdiff=feature/v1 -3 feature/v2`).
-
---range-diff=<previous>::
-	As a reviewer aid, insert a range-diff (see linkgit:git-range-diff[1])
-	into the cover letter, or as commentary of the lone patch of a
-	1-patch series, showing the differences between the previous
-	version of the patch series and the series currently being formatted.
-	`previous` can be a single revision naming the tip of the previous
-	series if it shares a common base with the series being formatted (for
-	example `git format-patch --cover-letter --range-diff=feature/v1 -3
-	feature/v2`), or a revision range if the two versions of the series are
-	disjoint (for example `git format-patch --cover-letter
-	--range-diff=feature/v1~3..feature/v1 -3 feature/v2`).
-+
-Note that diff options passed to the command affect how the primary
-product of `format-patch` is generated, and they are not passed to
-the underlying `range-diff` machinery used to generate the cover-letter
-material (this may change in the future).
-
---creation-factor=<percent>::
-	Used with `--range-diff`, tweak the heuristic which matches up commits
-	between the previous and current series of patches by adjusting the
-	creation/deletion cost fudge factor. See linkgit:git-range-diff[1])
-	for details.
-
---notes[=<ref>]::
---no-notes::
-	Append the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) for the commit
-	after the three-dash line.
-+
-The expected use case of this is to write supporting explanation for
-the commit that does not belong to the commit log message proper,
-and include it with the patch submission. While one can simply write
-these explanations after `format-patch` has run but before sending,
-keeping them as Git notes allows them to be maintained between versions
-of the patch series (but see the discussion of the `notes.rewrite`
-configuration options in linkgit:git-notes[1] to use this workflow).
-+
-The default is `--no-notes`, unless the `format.notes` configuration is
-set.
-
---[no-]signature=<signature>::
-	Add a signature to each message produced. Per RFC 3676 the signature
-	is separated from the body by a line with '-- ' on it. If the
-	signature option is omitted the signature defaults to the Git version
-	number.
-
---signature-file=<file>::
-	Works just like --signature except the signature is read from a file.
-
---suffix=.<sfx>::
-	Instead of using `.patch` as the suffix for generated
-	filenames, use specified suffix.  A common alternative is
-	`--suffix=.txt`.  Leaving this empty will remove the `.patch`
-	suffix.
-+
-Note that the leading character does not have to be a dot; for example,
-you can use `--suffix=-patch` to get `0001-description-of-my-change-patch`.
-
--q::
---quiet::
-	Do not print the names of the generated files to standard output.
-
---no-binary::
-	Do not output contents of changes in binary files, instead
-	display a notice that those files changed.  Patches generated
-	using this option cannot be applied properly, but they are
-	still useful for code review.
-
---zero-commit::
-  Output an all-zero hash in each patch's From header instead
-  of the hash of the commit.
-
---[no-]base[=<commit>]::
-	Record the base tree information to identify the state the
-	patch series applies to.  See the BASE TREE INFORMATION section
-	below for details. If <commit> is "auto", a base commit is
-	automatically chosen. The `--no-base` option overrides a
-	`format.useAutoBase` configuration.
-
---root::
-	Treat the revision argument as a <revision range>, even if it
-	is just a single commit (that would normally be treated as a
-	<since>).  Note that root commits included in the specified
-	range are always formatted as creation patches, independently
-	of this flag.
-
---progress::
-	Show progress reports on stderr as patches are generated.
-
-CONFIGURATION
--------------
-You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each message,
-defaults for the subject prefix and file suffix, number patches when
-outputting more than one patch, add "To:" or "Cc:" headers, configure
-attachments, change the patch output directory, and sign off patches
-with configuration variables.
-
-------------
-[format]
-	headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"
-	subjectPrefix = CHANGE
-	suffix = .txt
-	numbered = auto
-	to = <email>
-	cc = <email>
-	attach [ = mime-boundary-string ]
-	signOff = true
-	outputDirectory = <directory>

-DISCUSSION
-----------
-
-The patch produced by 'git format-patch' is in UNIX mailbox format,
-with a fixed "magic" time stamp to indicate that the file is output
-from format-patch rather than a real mailbox, like so:

-When a patch is part of an ongoing discussion, the patch generated by

-
-When sending a patch this way, most often you are sending your own
-patch, so in addition to the "`From $SHA1 $magic_timestamp`" marker you
-should omit `From:` and `Date:` lines from the patch file.  The patch
-title is likely to be different from the subject of the discussion the
-patch is in response to, so it is likely that you would want to keep
-the Subject: line, like the example above.
-
-Checking for patch corruption
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Many mailers if not set up properly will corrupt whitespace.  Here are
-two common types of corruption:
-
-* Empty context lines that do not have _any_ whitespace.
-
-* Non-empty context lines that have one extra whitespace at the
-  beginning.
-
-One way to test if your MUA is set up correctly is:
-
-* Send the patch to yourself, exactly the way you would, except
-  with To: and Cc: lines that do not contain the list and
-  maintainer address.
-
-* Save that patch to a file in UNIX mailbox format.  Call it a.patch,
-  say.
-
-* Apply it:
-
-    $ git fetch <project> master:test-apply
-    $ git switch test-apply
-    $ git restore --source=HEAD --staged --worktree :/
-    $ git am a.patch
-
-If it does not apply correctly, there can be various reasons.
-
-* The patch itself does not apply cleanly.  That is _bad_ but
-  does not have much to do with your MUA.  You might want to rebase
-  the patch with linkgit:git-rebase[1] before regenerating it in
-  this case.
-
-* The MUA corrupted your patch; "am" would complain that
-  the patch does not apply.  Look in the .git/rebase-apply/ subdirectory and
-  see what 'patch' file contains and check for the common
-  corruption patterns mentioned above.
-
-* While at it, check the 'info' and 'final-commit' files as well.
-  If what is in 'final-commit' is not exactly what you would want to
-  see in the commit log message, it is very likely that the
-  receiver would end up hand editing the log message when applying
-  your patch.  Things like "Hi, this is my first patch.\n" in the
-  patch e-mail should come after the three-dash line that signals
-  the end of the commit message.
-
-MUA-SPECIFIC HINTS
-------------------
-Here are some hints on how to successfully submit patches inline using
-various mailers.
-
-GMail
-~~~~~
-GMail does not have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
-interface, so it will mangle any emails that you send.  You can however
-use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server, or
-use any IMAP email client to connect to the google IMAP server and forward
-the emails through that.
-
-For hints on using 'git send-email' to send your patches through the
-GMail SMTP server, see the EXAMPLE section of linkgit:git-send-email[1].
-
-For hints on submission using the IMAP interface, see the EXAMPLE
-section of linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
-
-Thunderbird
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-By default, Thunderbird will both wrap emails as well as flag
-them as being 'format=flowed', both of which will make the
-resulting email unusable by Git.
-
-There are three different approaches: use an add-on to turn off line wraps,
-configure Thunderbird to not mangle patches, or use
-an external editor to keep Thunderbird from mangling the patches.
-
-Approach #1 (add-on)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Install the Toggle Word Wrap add-on that is available from
-https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/toggle-word-wrap/
-It adds a menu entry "Enable Word Wrap" in the composer's "Options" menu
-that you can tick off. Now you can compose the message as you otherwise do
-(cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc), but you have to
-insert line breaks manually in any text that you type.
-
-Approach #2 (configuration)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Three steps:
-
-1. Configure your mail server composition as plain text:
-   Edit...Account Settings...Composition & Addressing,
-   uncheck "Compose Messages in HTML".
-
-2. Configure your general composition window to not wrap.
-+
-In Thunderbird 2:
-Edit..Preferences..Composition, wrap plain text messages at 0
-+
-In Thunderbird 3:
-Edit..Preferences..Advanced..Config Editor.  Search for
-"mail.wrap_long_lines".
-Toggle it to make sure it is set to `false`. Also, search for
-"mailnews.wraplength" and set the value to 0.
-
-3. Disable the use of format=flowed:
-   Edit..Preferences..Advanced..Config Editor.  Search for
-   "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed".
-   Toggle it to make sure it is set to `false`.
-
-After that is done, you should be able to compose email as you
-otherwise would (cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc),
-and the patches will not be mangled.
-
-Approach #3 (external editor)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The following Thunderbird extensions are needed:
-AboutConfig from http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org/ and
-External Editor from http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=8
-
-1. Prepare the patch as a text file using your method of choice.
-
-2. Before opening a compose window, use Edit->Account Settings to
-   uncheck the "Compose messages in HTML format" setting in the
-   "Composition & Addressing" panel of the account to be used to
-   send the patch.
-
-3. In the main Thunderbird window, 'before' you open the compose
-   window for the patch, use Tools->about:config to set the
-   following to the indicated values:
-+
-----------
-	mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed  => false
-	mailnews.wraplength             => 0
-----------
-
-4. Open a compose window and click the external editor icon.
-
-5. In the external editor window, read in the patch file and exit
-   the editor normally.
-
-Side note: it may be possible to do step 2 with
-about:config and the following settings but no one's tried yet.
-
-----------
-	mail.html_compose                       => false
-	mail.identity.default.compose_html      => false
-	mail.identity.id?.compose_html          => false
-----------
-
-There is a script in contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline which can help
-you include patches with Thunderbird in an easy way. To use it, do the
-steps above and then use the script as the external editor.
-
-KMail
-~~~~~
-This should help you to submit patches inline using KMail.
-
-1. Prepare the patch as a text file.
-
-2. Click on New Mail.
-
-3. Go under "Options" in the Composer window and be sure that
-   "Word wrap" is not set.
-
-4. Use Message -> Insert file... and insert the patch.
-
-5. Back in the compose window: add whatever other text you wish to the
-   message, complete the addressing and subject fields, and press send.
-
-BASE TREE INFORMATION
----------------------
-
-The base tree information block is used for maintainers or third party
-testers to know the exact state the patch series applies to. It consists
-of the 'base commit', which is a well-known commit that is part of the
-stable part of the project history everybody else works off of, and zero
-or more 'prerequisite patches', which are well-known patches in flight
-that is not yet part of the 'base commit' that need to be applied on top
-of 'base commit' in topological order before the patches can be applied.
-
-The 'base commit' is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of
-the commit object name.  A 'prerequisite patch' is shown as
-"prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex 'patch id', which can
-be obtained by passing the patch through the `git patch-id --stable`
-command.
-
-Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known
-patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch
-series A, B, C, the history would be like:
-
-................................................
----P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C
-................................................
-
-With `git format-patch --base=P -3 C` (or variants thereof, e.g. with
-`--cover-letter` or using `Z..C` instead of `-3 C` to specify the
-range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the
-first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the
-cover letter), like this:
-
-------------
-base-commit: P

-You can also use `git format-patch --base=P -3 C` to generate patches
-for A, B and C, and the identifiers for P, X, Y, Z are appended at the
-end of the first message.
-
-If set `--base=auto` in cmdline, it will track base commit automatically,
-the base commit will be the merge base of tip commit of the remote-tracking
-branch and revision-range specified in cmdline.
-For a local branch, you need to track a remote branch by `git branch
---set-upstream-to` before using this option.

-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-* Extract commits between revisions R1 and R2, and apply them on top of
-  the current branch using 'git am' to cherry-pick them:
-+
-------------
-$ git format-patch -k --stdout R1..R2 | git am -3 -k
-------------
-
-* Extract all commits which are in the current branch but not in the
-  origin branch:
-+
-------------
-$ git format-patch origin
-------------
-+
-For each commit a separate file is created in the current directory.
-
-* Extract all commits that lead to 'origin' since the inception of the
-  project:
-+
-------------
-$ git format-patch --root origin
-------------
-
-* The same as the previous one:
-+
-------------
-$ git format-patch -M -B origin
-------------
-+
-Additionally, it detects and handles renames and complete rewrites
-intelligently to produce a renaming patch.  A renaming patch reduces
-the amount of text output, and generally makes it easier to review.
-Note that non-Git "patch" programs won't understand renaming patches, so
-use it only when you know the recipient uses Git to apply your patch.
-
-* Extract three topmost commits from the current branch and format them
-  as e-mailable patches:
-+
-------------
-$ git format-patch -3
